Abstract:
Alloxan induced diabetic animal model was
sed to evaluate the potential antidiabetic effect of
ie aqueous leaf extract of Aegle marmelose. Insuinjection
and oral treatment of Aegle marmelose
of extract to the alloxan induced rats maintained
;e animal weight near to the control rats whereas
,,ere was a significant decrease in weight in alloxan
•duced rats. Insulin injection and oral treatment
the leaf extract reversed the decrease of protein
)ntent in all the organs studied except the pancas.
Glucose level was maintained near to the co-
:rol levels in the insulin injected and leaf extract
Bated alloxan diabetic rats. A significant increased
ucose tolerance was observed in animals orally
ven the leaf extract prior to the experiment. The
suits indicate that there is an increased utilization
glucose in the Aegle marmelose leaf extract treed
rats.
